How your place can be funded

You have 3 options when signing up:

1. Self-fund – pay the full registration fee yourself
2. Mixed funding – you pay half of your registration fee via fundraising and we pay the other half
3. Full funding – we buy the place and you agree to raise a certain amount through fundraising.
